I agree that we are social animals and standards can be genetically dictated.

I think, practically speaking, those who fear God would be in one category and those who don’t fear God, either because their God is forgiving or because they don’t believe in God would be in the other.
If fear of God keeps us honest, the converse is that the lack of that fear lets us cheat. By that logic (which a lot of people believe) atheists should cheat more than religious people. They don’t. They cheat in equal numbers with the aggregate of religious people. The message I’m getting is that people are people and their religious beliefs seem to follow whatever they are already doing, not the other way around.
